More than 1 in 3 women experience gender-based violence during their lifetime.
"Violence against women and girls is the most pervasive human rights violation in the world," said
#UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres on Friday's International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
"Let’s take a stand and raise our voices in support of women’s rights.
Let’s proudly declare: We are all feminists.
Let’s consign violence against women and girls to the history books."
Each and every one of us can do our part to prevent gender-based violence everywhere, by speaking out to help break the cycle of abuse, supporting survivors and their right to justice, stopping victim blaming, promoting
#GenerationEquality, and much more.
